It is not uncommon in the film industry for celebrities to be linked together during the shooting of a film. Their on-set chemistry often leads to speculation about off-screen relations and sometimes these rumours can stir up a media frenzy. There have been numerous instances where directors and actors were said to be romantically involved becoming the subject of national discussions. However things took a dangerous turn in one such case when the wife of a director reportedly slapped an actress after learning about their alleged affair. Ram Gopal Varma & Urmila Matondkar Ram Gopal Varma and Urmila Matondkar collaborated on several successful films including Satya Mast Ek Haseena Thi and Bhoot. These films not only garnered critical acclaim but also made the director-actor duo a hit in the eyes of the audience. Their on-set chemistry was undeniable and it wasn’t long before rumours of an off-screen romance began to circulate. The media and public took an interest in their alleged relationship which escalated when Ram Gopal Varma’s then-wife Ratna Varma found out about the alleged affair. When the rumours reached Ratna she reportedly showed up on the sets of one of the directors films and slapped Urmila Matondkar. The confrontation quickly became a huge media sensation. The situation reportedly reached a point where Ram Gopal Varma and his wife decided to end their marriage. Despite the drama the director later cited differences over ghazals and other issues as the reason for his divorce never directly addressing the affair rumours.
